Homework in geography class?

The basic and quotidian assignment is not one that my students are accustomed to:
Read the class web site.

Each day I post notes and assignments. It's like a constantly evolving personal textbook. If you keep up with the flow of material it all makes sense. If you print it out and try to read it once a week it can seem incomprehensible.

Reading your class notes on a web site is a skill for now and for the future. More and more teachers will be posting their class marterial on similar sites.


Fri, Sept 12 brings a different sort of homework: a typed essay. Many of my students checked their drafts with me today. Yay. That's the mark of an outstanding worker.
